"And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God." -- Philippians 1:9-11

Day 37: Seek

Have you every completed a 1000 piece puzzle?  It is quite an accomplishment….  It requires us to seek 1000 times.  Until every single cardboard cutout is in the right space, interlocking perfectly with every other cardboard cutout around it, and creating an image that is whole.

When we find one piece, there is still another to be found.  We are not done with the journey until every piece is in its place, when we can finally see the whole picture, and step back from our work to admire the whole scene.

I often get stuck looking for one piece, one sky blue cardboard cutout that I “need” to connect two sections together.  But if I am stuck on one piece, I am neglecting the 999 others that will also provide forward progress. 

In life we sometimes get stuck on one piece, and are blinded to the other paths that ultimately reach the same goal.  Take a deep breath.  And try looking at it another way.  You never know what doors God will open in the most unlikely places!
